From traditional fare in prix fixe menus to casual, a la carte offerings in a variety of cuisines
If you haven’t decked out your home with a tree, wreaths and lights, chances are a city restaurant might feel more celebratory. Though the majority of places are closed for Christmas Day, a surprising number stay open, and many add special dishes, prix fixe options, and, of course, spirited decorations.

Complimentary Champagne and Christmas decorations will make this pan-Asian restaurant’s Christmas extra festive. Alongside the a la carte menu, specials that day will include white truffle noodles with mushroom, A5 wagyu steak with wasabi edamame puree, and bûche de Noël. It’s all the work of chef Youjin Jung, who previously served as sous chef at Boulud Sud.
